Implement Ad Posting

[jpasilan]

Implementing the necessary functionality to create and update classified ads. The ERD for the required models is shown in the image attachment below. Minimum set of features to complete this task is as follows:

• Sellers can create an ad.

The adding of the ad images will be on a separate task or ticket as this requires more work.

The necessary user and permission models have already been implemented through the Cartalyst Sentry package (https://cartalyst.com/manual/sentry). Look through the migrations on what permissions in relation to adding posts are already present in the system.

This should be worked on the Git branch: classified-ads
